You are absolutely right about the statistics here. But all I am doing is showing that the numbers are not only favorably in our direction but have the potential to make real changes. It still requires us to do the heavy liftibng to break the fascist hold on our system. (And I do not think it is possible to have an affable fascist ;-)

We are moving into the election season, when anything positive you have to say will be subject to a blizzard of doom and gloom. (You’ve been lurking enough that you’re probably aware of the pessimist effect here.) One year it got so bad that I had to take a two month vacation from all the negativity (since I was spending a lot of spare time working on the election). That was 2018 — the year we took back the House in a great blue wave).

So be prepared. The pessimists have only begun to despair.

And on that note, it’s past my bedtime. Good night!
